  1. I think were probably always disagree on this. Go and try it with a circle of mates do at least 10-20 games you will find the stronger army always wins for also find that shooting is overly effective and some armies always go second, the game always becomes stagnant but thats only my opinion on my experience of playing without the risk of a double turn just having the risk means you screen double screen and place differently.
  2. It would be nice if a BT had at least a 50/50 chance of killing a keeper
  3. I do agree with that but having a 50/50 out is better than having no outs, alternating turns will always give shooting armies with cheap chaff the advantage.
  4. I have to disagree with getting rid of the double for a significantly weaker army it maybe the only chance they have, and also it would significantly increase the shooting meta always stay in range with a screen etc. Again I disagree with summoning with the exception of slaanesh where theres is way overboard. If you look at BOC,BOK, Seraphon, Nurgle, FEC theres is all pretty balanced and i think LON is pretty on point as well though rather irritating. I think with the new army books everything seems more balanced and creates better gameplay with the exception of skaven and slaanesh. Khorne, Orruks, COS, Sylvaneth are also nice and smooth pretty well balanced, O and S the streamlining without losing character I think is awesome I used to hate the old Ironjaws and sylvaneth with long as hero phase with the trees, the waaagh and free moves getting out of hand i'd go get a coffeee and still wait 10minutes before I'm doing anything (hallow heart maybe a bit op but early days) I've got to agree I don't think there are that many meta chasers most people who play build an army they think looks cool and will run pretty good, also I don't believe in meta chasing its a stupid idea most people who do it aren't the top players and only ever finish mid table anyway or they just win their local tourneys and think they're good. (low mid table player who's beat a few meta chasers) A top tier player will beat most of us with a slaves to darkness army end of story.
  5. Try what this guy says, just doing something. I know you don't feel like doing anything but whenever down for me its usually caused by stress so doing something about the problem helps but for others just pushing yourself to do something that takes your mind off it helps whenever painting I lose track of time because I'm absorbed in it.
  6. Check out these awesome Kill Point and Victory Point dials made up by War Mill Games for our tourney. We've also got something much better than a trophy for 1st place 2nd place and the winners of the painting categories.
  7. At the moment should I go with last years painting requirements? (this is where i always over think and worry about standard as not a great hobbyist I paint to play) I'm just touching up a display board (I assume this is a must) I am slightly concerned about the the converted model do I lose points if I don't have one (I have a few ready but none fit in my army list) as all of my army is already painted and being slow at the best of times (instead of snails pace) it will take me a while to make something.
  8. Its funny you should say that but I do have 6 tables worth of terrain and then the club can cover well over 50 tables worth, the biggest issue for me is if you are behind a terrain piece surely you should be in cover, if your in it surely you should be in cover but what does and doesn't count as cover is not clarified in any way in the rules.
  9. I have had the bristol weekend free up and so tempted to go and hope for random pairing with the tomb kings.
  10. Sword the horde is a great name. @Warmill I'm wondering whether or not to get the wooden spoon pre engraved with your name.
  11. Thats awesome literally just building up numbers with AOS at the club at the moment, but we will have at least one team at firestorm next year hopefully 2. There are 3 guys at face hammer but they've just come over from another club, hopefully get a good chunk going to scgt next year as well. literally there were 2 of us playing AOS in 2018 and managed to get quite a few guys pinging around small tourneys and just encouraging them to go to some bigger events.
  12. Yeah they are really overdue an update and a really cool army, would in your opinion though more clarification on what counts as cover and what doesn't be more helpful to the game. Maybe like the old way that 25% covered does not count as cover just because its on a terrain piece? and 50% or more counted as cover, but also including that a model is in cover if it is 50% blocked even if it is not within the terrain piece. I just feel there is not clear guidelines on what is and isn't cover.

  14. That looks awesome definitely up my street I'll put in my calendar for next year
  15. What is achievements I saw it on the ticket list but couldn't find many details?
  16. when I signed up I couldn't find the event pack, i'm just wondering what the standards like? (I did South coast GT and received full hobby points my standard is slightly better now slow learner and minimal time just wondering on that front) Also I couldn't find coffee on the bar/table menu but is safe to say its readily available. Pretty excited for this not that competitive when I play just like to have fun but is there an archive of old lists because I don't want to go to fluffy and completely crushed
  17. It will be my first year at Blood and Glory just creating the discussion so anyone who's going can post maybe get to know a few people before going up. Also for us newbs to B+G can ask the old Vets any question. Also bit of banter is always fun.
  18. Why do you say that? They bloat comes from the battle tomes, the core and GHB have glaring missing sections, such as what counts as cover, true LOS meaning you can see through a tiny hole in your plague furnace and every guy gets to shoot?
  19. Needing Los for unbinds would mean you would then in turn need Los for spells and they are now already overshadowed by prayers. Magic maybe setup for another thread I do feel it gets the short end of the stick though. The cover I was asking for was more clarity on what counts as cover what doesn't. In the old days cover counted if 50% of the model was cover wheres the line? just some clarity on terrain terrain pieces.
  20. I have to agree with these just something simple, true LOS can be easily manipulated more rules doesn't make the game more complex it makes it clearer and more enjoyable to play .
  21. I feel these small changes would make it more enjoyable and tactical on both sides against shooting heavy armies though I maybe a little biased with my slow foot slogging army so would like to here your opinions. With the imminent increase to be of shooting armies (COS the kharadron, tzeencth very overdue new books/updates) I would really like updated rules on LOS and cover. I feel it needs more clarity and simplifying for LOS over true LOS especially with any faction with older models that tend to be smaller and newer models being larger, I am very much for it in the case of everyone being able to shoot through their own models when its the same unit but I am against seeing a tiny spec or just an axe maybe having negative to hit modifiers in this case would be a good solution see 25% of a model/unit -2 50% -1 75% or more no modifier. Terrain pieces maybe having a set rule that within the base of the scenery of anything except a hill is cover. Then maybe getting rid of if a unit can fly it can be seen even if its behind a wood. All opinions are welcome please comment if your a little biased one way or another due to having a shooty or a footslogger army.
  22. I have to firmly agree though i think the main culprit isn't inspiring prescience but things like the plague furnace with 40 monks either side or playing focal points against ritz who sendup being battle shock immune on their own and centre objective or they vermin lord with the 26inch range to make everything battleshock immune, yet 30 bloodletters lose 15 the others gone.
  23. cogs and 1cp is 12inches so he's a threat battle round 2, stick an emerald life swarm next to him and he'll life even longer
  24. as long as he gets a 2up the 2up save against shooting and can actually make it across the board without getting shot off the table il be taking I don't care if he ends up amazing or rubbish as long as he doesn't get shot, magic or prayed off the table every game
  25. Its an unmodified 6 its on the latest war scroll, but there are 2 ream artefacts that you can buff up that add 2 damage blade of endings and anareiheirs claws both 6plus so can be buffed
